Early Tuesday morning, gold-medal Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps was arrested for driving under the influence in Baltimore, police told TMZ Sports.
Phelps, 29, was reportedly pulled over at 1:40 AM for driving 84 in an 45 zone. The officer apparently sensed he was drunk and gave him a field sobriety test, which he failed. His B.A.C. was reportedly twice the legal limit.
Phelps was then taken to nearby station and slapped with charges for a DUI, excessive speeding, and crossing over double lane line dividers.
The arrest is Phelps' second DUI. His first was ten years ago, when he was arrested in Maryland. In a plea deal with prosecutors, he admitted guilt in exchange for 18 months of probation. In February 2009, he was also caught on camera smoking from a bong filled with what appeared to be weed.
